Daily Horoscope

Overview

Those plans of yours. They're on, then they're off, then they're on again. This stop-start energy, created by the Moon-Saturnsquare, is quite difficult to follow, so don't be surprised if you feel frustrated and tired. The best option, especially for the fire signs Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, is to take a step back. Don't force the issue today, just allow the day to unfurl.

You will have a chance to make things happen later next week; for now, just listen to what the universe tells you. Looking ahead, the TaurusMoon on Wednesday encourages creature comforts, so snuggle up with a loved one and enjoy some time out.

Aries

You have big plans today, and the energy it takes to achieve them. Just remember, you don't have to do everything right this moment. Your project would benefit from a step-by-step approach, which requires some planning. Take your time in mapping it out. What tools or resources will you need? How long do you think it will take? Considering these will give you a better overall picture of things.

Taurus

It's good that you feel excited and inspired, but your natural energy is better suited for slow, steady output than for quick, intense bursts of activity. It's up to you today to regulate your own work schedule. If you have a series of smaller tasks to achieve, take breaks between them. If you have one big project you're working on, schedule intermittent downtime. And don't forget to fuel up with water and good food.

Gemini

You're a whirlwind of activity and conversation today. You blaze trails from one person or project to another. You're full of good ideas and positive intentions. But don't be surprised if you don't actually accomplish much, at least not as compared to your energy level. Follow-through isn't normally your strong point, and definitely not today! But that doesn't matter much. You can take great strides now toward a goal, and that's what's important.

Cancer

If someone takes issue with any aspect of your work or performance at home or at the office, you'll find it hard not to get defensive today. Your energy is on the high side, and it's easy now to react from an emotional standpoint without thinking it through first. A more measured approach is a better idea, though. If you feel upset, take a few deep breaths. Try not to take things personally.

Leo

Your goals are clear today and your sense of confidence is strong. In fact, you're feeling downright frisky. If someone presents a challenge, you welcome the fight -- it gives you an opportunity to prove yourself! In fact, it's days like this that really show you what you're capable of. Your peers and colleagues notice, too. Your leadership qualities are on display, and people are most certainly impressed.

Virgo

Your coworkers and employers surely appreciate your 'No problem, I can handle it' attitude. But be sure that you aren't taking on more than your fair share of work or other burdens today. Yes, you're strong, dedicated and hardworking. But you don't need to prove that to anyone. Of course, if you're simply feeling particularly energetic and inspired, it's a great day to throw yourself into something fun and engaging.

Libra

Your friends and colleagues may not normally think of you as an authority figure, since you're such a people-pleaser, and you do what it takes to get along with everyone. But social grace can be the mark of a great leader, and today is your chance to show everyone that you possess these qualities. Your goals are clear and you feel confident, so recruit the help you need and make this thing happen.

Scorpio

You have a specific goal in mind today. If you're adept at staying calm in tense moments, ask someone for their input. But if you tend to have a short fuse, you may be better off working solo. Your competitive streak is strong now, and you don't want anyone getting in your way. It's okay to let others in on your plans later, when you've got things more hammered out.

Sagittarius

Your high spirits are a great addition to almost any situation today, but the way you harness that energy is an important part of the equation. Instead of just visiting and chatting aimlessly with people, consider this: The conversations you have today can be potential brainstorming or recruitment sessions. Talk with purpose, and let other people in on your plans. You can gain inspiration from someone else's expertise or input.

Capricorn

You have lots of take-charge energy ready to be harnessed today, but you'll have to watch your tone of voice, too. No one likes being bossed around, after all. Besides, others respond better when you're both cheerful and nice. So no matter where you're in charge; whether it's a project at work or a group of children at home, you can find a way to include other people's opinions, needs and input.

Aquarius

Get involved today in a project or cause you really believe in. It always feels better to throw yourself into something you can stand behind. Pour your creativity, idealism and physical energy into it today. Your energy is plentiful, giving you the boost you need to work effectively. Just think through each move before you make it. The higher the stakes, the more important it is to work carefully as well as quickly.

Pisces

Surges of energy alternate today with periods of feeling frazzled or withdrawn. Find ways to smooth out your energy, so that you can harness its potential and avoid wearing yourself out. Work hard, but build in regular breaks. Take a brisk walk, practice meditation or deep breathing, or even take a quick nap when you break from your labors. These measures will help you maximize your energy potential without maxing out too early.

Overview

Keep talking! Whether you're in the first flushes of love, strengthening a decades old relationship or trying to heal a floundering one, communication is vital today. Help is at hand, courtesy of the Mercury-Venusconjunction in Aries, which prompts honesty and frankness, even if it hurts at times. Don't hold back; there's no point now in hiding how you feel.

Lay your cards out for your sweetheart to see, and trust in the love that you have. Looking ahead, Mercury turns retrograde on Thursday, so avoid impulsive decisions and instead try counting to ten!

Aries

You're in a positive, proactive frame of mind today. Harness that forward momentum so you can achieve something great, because you're feeling both ambitious and competitive. You really want the world to know what you're capable of doing. That could mean, though, that anyone who seems to stand in your way receives a taste of your quick-flaring temper. Proceed with caution and grace, Aries.

Taurus

Today you have a heightened sense of your own potential. You welcome any challenges that arise as opportunities to prove yourself, and you're certainly capable of tremendous energy output, when you put your mind to a task. The thing is, your peers and colleagues already know this about you. You don't have anything to prove to anyone, except perhaps yourself. So don't go overboard with hard work unless you want to.

Gemini

Impulsive moves could lead you in surprising and exciting directions today, or they could get you into a spot of trouble. The good news is, you can handle either outcome. You're a quick thinker by nature, and today your mind moves twice as fast as usual. And everything is a learning experience, mistakes and missteps included. So push forward with confidence and a sense of excitement for what lies ahead.

Cancer

Work hard today, but work smart, too. Everyone who knows you can see and appreciate your natural leadership qualities. Today, though, you could come across as bossy or controlling. You're just trying to get things done, of course, but instead of issuing orders to family members or coworkers, focus on teamwork. Delegate tasks, and trust the other person to do a good job. That way, you can focus on your own projects.

Leo

Your theme for the day should be 'friendly competition.' This applies whether you're playing a board game with buddies or meeting in the boardroom with colleagues. Of course, sometimes you just have to play hardball, and it's up to you to make that distinction. But in general, you'll win the most friends and influence the most people if you keep a lighthearted attitude, even as you triumph over the competition.

Virgo

People may not realize you have an ambitious streak, since you tend to work so quietly and dutifully. And while you normally may not care about getting recognition for your work, today you're focused on a goal. If you garner some approval along the way, so much the better. You deserve credit for your hard work, Virgo. And your dedication to a task can be truly impressive.

Libra

Your social life is in high gear today. You're connecting with lots of different people, sharing ideas and laughter, and having a great time. It's wonderful to feel so stimulated, but don't forget that this can be social activity with a purpose. You could be brainstorming with friends or coworkers as you chat, or drumming up support for a project you're developing. Go for it!

Scorpio

Your passionate nature flares to life today. This could be the good kind of passion -- the kind you share with your sweetheart or throw into a project you dearly love. But the other kind of passion -- temper flare-ups and run-ins with other people -- could also rear its head. Instead of heading blindly into conflict, first weigh out whether a fight is really worth the bother.

Sagittarius

Expect good times and fun adventures today. It's a great day for following your instincts, because whatever comes up is sure to be interesting. Plus, you're not worried about making mistakes or taking a wrong step. You consider every experience to be part of an overall tapestry -- one that is beautiful and inspiring. So connect with other spirited, enthusiastic people and see what kind of adventures you can rustle up.

Capricorn

Your ambitious streak swells to an insistent throb today. You really want a certain project or promotion to come through. You've worked long and hard for this, and you're focused enough to take out any perceived obstacles or competition. Just make sure you're reading each situation correctly. Someone may not present as much competition as you think. Don't go overboard if you think someone's after the same position or project you are.

Aquarius

Your social life picks up today. Even social activity at work increases, because everyone is in a spirited mood. Some people may seem overly pushy or competitive, but you know how to deal with that type of behavior. You just let those people have the spotlight, and keep having a good time in your own way, with your own crowd. You've always done things your own way. Why change now?

Pisces

Pursue a personally meaningful goal today. You have more energy than usual, and you're making intellectual connections at a lively pace. Conversations with friends and coworkers naturally turn into brainstorming sessions, and you have a good chance of gaining support for your project, or at least getting inspired to aim higher than you had before. You can make a real success of this thing, so put your mind to it.

Overview

In the northern hemisphere today is the spring equinox. As the Sun moves into Aries, it's a time of renewal and rejuvenation - are you feeling it yet? For the cardinal signs, Aries, Cancer, Capricorn and Libra, this is a kind of a mini new year, so it's a perfect time to update your "new year" resolutions. For other signs, it's a time of balance and harmony, so make the most of this vibe's impact on your personal relationships. Even difficult people should be so much easier to deal with today!

Aries

Today could be slower-paced than you're used to. If life seems to plod, do your best not to get frustrated! Otherwise, you might end up stirring up trouble just to create some excitement. Instead, appreciate the current influence for what it is: a respite from the hectic energy of your regular life. Enjoy the downtime. Rest up for the excitement that's sure to return soon.

Taurus

Mundane, repetitive tasks are a nice way to spend your day today. Filing papers or balancing your checkbook can be fun! The same goes for sewing, gardening or working with wood -- anything that lets you be crafty or creative. Let your mind wander as you make a piece of artwork or something functional that you can use in your daily life. Use your legs to walk far, and remind yourself how sturdy you are.

Gemini

Solid achievements seem more important today than usual. You might look at your work, or the projects you have half-finished around the house, and realize it's time to finish at least one of them. That's a good goal to set for yourself under the current influence. At work or at home, see something through to completion. Then you can enjoy the resulting sense of accomplishment.

Cancer

Connect today with the people and pets you care about most. Hugs and other tangible forms of affection feel especially good now. It's important to connect on this level of the bodily senses. That includes food, too. A meal shared with good friends is balm for the soul! Anything you do now that helps you connect with life's fundamentals -- sustenance, relaxation, companionship -- is a very good thing.

Leo

You're firmly rooted in your opinions today. It's good to know your own mind, but make sure you can also be flexible in your thinking. It's always a good rule of thumb to question your own assumptions. If you find yourself reacting strongly to something in a particular way, take a moment to inspect your response. Is any part of it based in fear or stubbornness? Try to be open-minded.

Virgo

Relax and enjoy yourself today, and the company of your loved ones. Comfort foods may appeal to you more than usual. The scents and flavors of your childhood might soothe your soul like nothing else! Go ahead and indulge a little, even if it isn't the kind of thing you should do every day. Sometimes it's more important to satisfy your five senses than to stick to a rigorous plan.

Libra

Today, you feel more attached than usual to your possessions -- the clothes, artwork and other items that surround you and define your tastes. This possessiveness could also extend to your relationships. You might need extra hugs or reassurance from loved ones. But if they aren't available to give you that affection, don't take it too hard. And don't turn to comfort food! Tap into your creative side to feel centered and satisfied.

Scorpio

Many people feel calm and centered today. You may be able to tap into that mellow energy, too. If so, that's wonderful. If not, you might find yourself relying on tried-and-true methods when approaching a problem or situation. There's nothing wrong, of course, with using methods that work. Just don't be afraid to take chances. Taking a calculated risk is a good idea, especially when you're feeling cautious.

Sagittarius

Life is mellow and slow-paced today. In fact, things may move along a little too slowly for your taste. You might notice people around you seem very relaxed. They might also seem a little stuck in their own way of seeing things. This could lead to some interesting discussions as you do your best to jostle them out of complacency! That's just who you are, dear Sagittarius. You're here to make people think.

Capricorn

Today your mind may turn toward moneymaking opportunities of some kind. If a business or real estate opportunity presents itself, do your research thoroughly, and then make an informed decision. If you're focused on savings or investment strategies, the same rule applies: Do your research. Consider all possible options and outcomes. And then, go with your gut feeling. Your instincts are steering you truly today, helping you make a good decision.

Aquarius

Today, your focus turns toward money matters. You don't like to be limited by finances. Still, you're practical enough to know you have to keep your budget in order. Put time and effort into that area of your life now. Live within your means. If you have a project you'd like to launch that's going to require funds, look for ways to trim your spending, or start a savings plan.

Pisces

Create greater financial stability for yourself now. Think about your future, and consider what kind of foundation you want to establish for yourself. Then make a simple, practical plan to set it all in motion. Remember to emphasize ease and efficiency. If something seems too complicated, it probably is. In fact, this rule applies to everything you do today. A 'back to basics' approach works wonderfully now.
